[vanillseatbmx]

Roland=Me Gusta

Yamaha= no me gusta

[sjonnygee]

I have this kit - The IV Special - along with my Tama Granstar acoustic.

The classic wood kit programmes, especially the Oak & the Beech Custom sound amazing ! I use my Dtx for recording all the time now & when they're mixed well in a sound check & put through decent PA speakers they sound like a really well miked acoustic kit.

I haven't used my Tama for a while now because of the DTX IV Spec. Best money I ever spent on a kit !!

[cubedrummer19]

Hey, I just got this kit and my closed hi-hat always needs extra hard hits to get any sound from it, does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[DanyCowman]

@cubedrummer19 i think you might just need to adjust the sensetivity of the pad. on the trigger settings

[cityvice123]

how much is it?

[45has2]

Too much background noise.

[JordanWieber]

i thnk the bass was to loud ;)

[Dan1loBr]

awesome how the hi-hat isn't properly closed xD

[metachozoite]

I am intrested in this kit but I CANT find how much it is on any site AT ALL!!!...will you guys tell me so I can save up the money?

thank you~

[itsaneverydaylife]

@metachozoite about $1,300 Dollars for the whole kit, (stand and drums)

[lowdowncustomz1]

Sorry cant hear you, someones playing the drums

[skezness]

Can it be plugged to a computer via midi and mapped to use better samples (eg. toontrack stuff)? Looks really functional but i really don't like the sounds specially the snare :/

[gstone2012]

Roland TD9S: Expensive, but oh so worth it. If you can find them used, you can usually haggle them down to around 900 bucks.

[xJonezey789x]

How much is this whole set?

[pingiu]

hi, sorry for my english. in these days I will coming to buy this kit. I want to know if i can add some cymbals. the 3 cymbals in the kit are 3zone. if i add others (like you), I lost the 3 zone? How many cymbals I can add?? thanks!!! Fabio

[aeybal]

Hey awesome video - definitely sounds sweet. Now, I know this has been thrown around a bit - sorry to be a pain, but since some of you have some experience with this, would you advise going for the Yamaha DTXpress 4 Special or the Roland TD-4V if they were the same price? Thanks for any advice!

[Chairmaneoin]

Not less sounds... fewer. tut tut.

[krisfrosz133]

Goodness, the intro is so 80's vibe XD.

[cutdecision00]

can you record with it bro? if you can take it to the studio im in.

[CannibalZombieKiller]

I wanna know if this kind of Electronic DrumKit are good to practice in silence?

[Superhasddd]

how much is it for the full kit?

[lepexi]

@Superhasddd 1,299 from BH photo video i think is the best place to get it.

[MrMcmikemike]

i have this kit it's awesome. it comes with three cymbals but there's only room in mod to plug in 2.

the people below me bang on their ceiling when i use the kick. kind of pissed me off considering i bought e drums to avoid pissing people off. now i basically play the kick drum very softly. it's limiting but whatever.

this kit is awesome though, the metronome has great features. i only really use one sound on here though.

[Chairmaneoin]

@MrMcmikemike Have you tried putting a thick mat beneath the drums? is it the sound of the beaters hitting the pad or shock traveling through floorboards making the sound? I'm asking because double bass is a huge part of my playing and i'm moving into a student flat next year.

[MrMcmikemike]

@Chairmaneoin i had a thin mat at one time that breaks down into sort of giant puzzle pieces.. they didn't do much at all so i abandoned them.

I think it's a combination of shock and sound of beater but mainly the sound of the beater.

i've had ideas about building a wooden box raised half a foot of the floor with insulation underneath, but something like that is so inconvenient and spendy.

also, i've thought about customizing my beaters using timpani mallets.

[Chairmaneoin]

@MrMcmikemike Felt beaters would help if you're not already using them, adjusting the spring tension so it's not as tight would mean you're not hitting so hard but it would make it feel a bit different. Is it very loud or are the people below just really fussy?

[MrMcmikemike]

@Chairmaneoin they could be fussy. right now it's a gibralter pedal. im using the felt side of the beater. it's one of those front felt/back plastic beaters.

[MrMcmikemike]

@Chairmaneoin so far, i've just been using single pedal very softly, and having my double pedals set up so that the edge of the couch away from the e kit.

it works for exercises, but it's annoying and it separates my feet from my actual drumming. after all, it's all about continuum so that's why it sucks.

[909Thumper909]

@MrMcmikemike Theres a way to decouple your set from the floor. "float" it with a bunch of neoprene or something. best thing to do is build a lil 'durmstage' and have it resting on something to absorb the vibes. good use for those old innertubes you been holding on to?

[sazycute1993]

@MrMcmikemike wow... I wish I had the space :@ lol

[ParkerFlyer4]

@MrMcmikemike There is a plug on the kick for the third cymbal, but you lose the 3 zone.

[Bervick]

@MrMcmikemike

Have you considered the tennis ball riser. Google it. I'm prob going to be in the same predicament as you if I get an eKit. And I will make that riser if I do.

[TreYohn]

@MrMcmikemike You plug the third cymbol in through the kick drum.

[thedrummerdude777]

@TreYohn You're kidding, right?

[TreYohn]

@thedrummerdude777 No man, go to the kick drum, and there are two ports, insert your third cymbol through there :P

But it's not multipaded though

[thedrummerdude777]

@TreYohn I knew there was a catch. I have the standard Dtxpress IV and I wanna order every part of the special edition kit because I wanna record with these. What program would you reccommend me to use for my e-kit?

[TreYohn]

use a program called reaper, it's free trial is really good for midi recordings and there are lots of tutorials on setting midi up.

i'm still half way through setting my recording studio up though :P

[thedrummerdude777]

@MrMcmikemike Yeah, what gives? I have the Yamaha Dtxpress IV standard pack and I wanna upgrade my snare pad to to the Dtxpress IV Special. I also want a third cymbal pad as well. Would I be able to still do that?

[raiiniinqxblo0d]

@MrMcmikemike the third cymbal plugs into the right side of the kick trigger

[sebaslimm]

@MrMcmikemike dude the bass drum has another plug in for the third cymbal lol

[ryowatanabi]

@cody1800212 if ur in an apartment, cramped subdivision(like me), ur family hates it. thats some reasons

[donnysmeegs]

Hey Circleslammer, you hit the nail squarely on the head

a - bloody - men to that.

but also they are such a good study tool,it's like a teacher in a little box.

Brilliant

Roland are the best, though.

[circleslammer]

I think theres room on the market for both electronic and acoustic. It all depends on the sound you want. The BEST part of having an electronic kit is you can play whenever you want, never have to change heads and tune them, or deal with complaints from neighbors about noise. I think the music business is too much work for too little money, all for the sake of "expressing your art." Ive been doing it for 13 yrs and ready to switch to electronic full time, because of the crap Ive dealt with.

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

does the module have any cool sounds

[giegud]

how much is this

[PortraitOfFire]

if an electronic drumset doesnt come with a double pedal can you add one or just switch it with one

[ryowatanabi]

@PortraitOfFire all you do is buy double bass pedals and play lmao, just take the one it comes with off

[einarknutsen]

how much is it?

[iciclepyro]

1200 USD for the special, 799 USD for the standard.

[ozbirko]

Ha Ha...Dude watching....(1:19)Shakes his head??  Toooo funny!!

[POkegreis]

@ozbirko <SO Awesome!!! xD

[nau02119]

Cool you have the same sticks as me - Vic Firth Steve Gadd. Are those nylon tipped?

[arnoldgd84]

thanks man

[nuggetWRX]

i just actually demo'd it today at GC, they had the speaker set that is advertised as the one compatible with this kit manufactured by Yamaha, set up. it wasn't anything special, headphones and a soundboard would be better, to control volume levels.

[arnoldgd84]

Do you know the estimated price for the speakers? You could hook this up to a home theater system or some kind of stereo system?

[arnoldgd84]

does this come with speakers or do you have to buy them separate? Also does it come with bass pedals?

[mapleleafsrock13]

both are separate unless you buy a package from say Kraft music or something.

[enigma53545]

WOW! You can mute the cymbals?? %p

[harkanblaa]

im gettin roland td-9 next week yay

[hartistry1957]

Send me one too...Kay? (ya spoiled brat)

[drunkdrum87]

lol me too

[PivotAnimator50]

DAMNIT! LUCKY BASTERD!!! >:(

[Huntington1234567]

@harkanblaa... I was going to get a TD-9, but with the Yamaha DTXpress IV, you get one more cymbal, (Roland only comes with 2, besides hi-hat), and all the Yamaha cymbals have 3 strike zones, (bell, bow, and edge, just like a real cymbal), as opposed to the Rolands that are only dual zoned. Plus, the Yamaha is $100 less, and honestly, the sound quality on a Roland isn't that much better.

Just an opinion. Have fun drumming, no matter what you use.

[couponmaster]

Only two of the three cymbals are 3 zone cymbals, one of the cymbals is a single zone. Yamaha DTXPIV modules use sound samples whereas the roland drums use synthesized sounds that are dynamic, producing a more "unique" sound.. this is most noticeable on their snare. the choke on the cymbals is more realistic than compared to a yamaha, which is more of an abrupt choke. The DTXpress IV kit is an awesome kit, and i recently bought one, but the Roland kits aren't as bad as you make them out to be.

[adriadis]

@harkanblaa roland 4 ever
